The wildest thing I have happen with rivals is that I started getting sanctions when
I hadn't even released a video, and I'm pretty sure had only just hit 1 star. So I dunno if my save was messed up or what, but that certainly doesn't feel very Working As Intended.
If I could suggest a feature, it would be some way of clearing your history; like you're producing videos or whatever to be published under a pseudonym/sold to be a big distributor that don't collect up fans or increment in your back catalogue - or earn rep for stuff you might not want - but they do pay the bills and give the people involved experience.
I also continue to feel that the early game experience is kinda painfully grindy (months of play and the carwash still doesn't turn even the smallest profit, paying $60,000 just to give your girls a dye job is crazy which also now has monthly upkeep as well, etc) and could really use a looking at.

have to cheat myself a couple hundred k just to get moving with kinda anything, but it feels mandatory.
